for Laurel Way development. He stated that parcels to the east of the dash shown on the map presented would not require an EIR due to several findings. Mainly, the parcels are easier to develop, not as steep grades exist, and more utilities exist. The parcels to the west of the dash on the map, would require an EIR because they lack some of the infrastructure, require additional roadway improvements such as retaining walls. Mr. Passanisi stated the recommendation is that Council make the findings included in the staff report; uphold the appeal subject to the conditions in the report. Additionally, Council should adopt the new policy regarding development on Laurel Way. In order to be consistent in the policy, if adopted by the Council, staff will notify the owner of 3726 Laurel Way, immediately west of the dashed line to inform the owner. Currently, the conditions of approval for 3726 Laurel Way state that they must contribute to an EIR and the new policy would eliminate that requirement.
